For me, it is convenient to be able to just run one command to start a development web server for a Pylons project, or any other project for that matter.
When creating a new Pylons project, you usually must invoke the "paster" script to start the development server:
$ paster serve --reload development.ini
Taking a cue from what RhubarbTart does, here is how I change my development.ini file in a Pylons project so that I can invoke it like this instead:
$ ./development.ini
At the top of the file, add this line:
#!/usr/bin/env paster
At the bottom, add this section:
[exe] command = serve reload = true verbose = true
Make the file executable:
$ chmod +x development.ini
